Anti -Semitic crimes in Berlin: Alarming numbers 2025!
In 2025, the Berlin police already recorded 261 anti -Semitic crimes between January and March. This represents an alarming trend that affects not only the city, but all of Germany. The districts of Tempelhof-Schöneberg, Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg, Mitte and Neukölln are special priorities of the anti-Semitic offenses in Berlin. In the previous year, a total of 1,027 anti -Semitic crimes were registered in Berlin, of which 269 cases were recorded in the first quarter of 2024 with anti -Semitic motivation.
